DISCUSS: "Beating End of the Year Fatigue and Student Apathy"
  • 20 Teacher Tips for Beating Fatigue
  • Strategies for your classroom: Gamification
    • Using your students' vernacular. Kids (and many adults) are already familiar with terms like
      • Next Level
      • Unlocking Acheivements
      • Earning Badges
    • Taken to the extreme, we may get something like this:
    • How can we "gamify" what we do in our classroom to motivate kids through these last days of school?
INSPIRE
  • PRESENTATION: Finding Your Spark - Keeping "the fire" going.
  • DISCUSS: Hopefully the end of the workshops does not also mean the end of for learning, sharing, and collaborating with each other. How can we stay connected? What are some online tools we could use to stay connected professionally and also collaborate between classes. Think about what you could do with Edmodo, Google Forms, Skype, Twitter, or other tools we've shared this year.
